[Comp-neuro] Postdoc positions available: UC Davis, SF Bay Area

[Mark Goldman]

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Mark
Goldman at the University of California at Davis.  The lab works on a
broad range of problems in computational neuroscience, from neural coding,
to plasticity, to neural dynamics of single neurons and networks. The
postdoctoral candidate would have flexibility to work on a range of issues
of his or her choosing.

For one of the positions, the primary project is to build mathematical
models of persistent neural activity, neural integration, and
short-term-memory related neural activity.  The work will involve a
mixture of analytical and computational work, and be performed in close
collaboration with the experimental laboratory of Dr. David Tank at
Princeton University.  We are currently interested in understanding both
the neural dynamics of this circuit and the plasticity in the system
including interactions with the cerebellum.

The postdoctoral candidate will have ample opportunity to interact both
within the large Center for Neuroscience at UC Davis as well as within the
vibrant computational and systems neuroscience community in the San
Francisco Bay area.  

Candidates should send a CV, brief statement of previous research and
future research interests, and email addresses and phone numbers of three
references to:  Mark Goldman, mgoldma2 at wellesley.edu.  

I will be present at the upcoming CNS 2007 meeting and would be happy to
meet with candidates in person.  Further information about my laboratory
